- | Over the autumn FoAM Kernow has both been investigating the future of live coding, and working on citizen science games and apps with a number of new collaborators. Highlights include: the release of ‘The Farm Crap App’ with Cornwall’s Duchy College, part of a scheme to highlight the value of organic fertilisers compared to costly and unsustainable synthetic ones, and ‘Where is that Nest?’ -- a citizen science game measuring egg pattern camouflage, developed in collaboration with the Sensory Ecology group at Exeter University. It is a followup to ‘Where is that Nightjar? | + | Over the autumn FoAM Kernow has been investigating the future of live coding, and working on citizen science games and apps with a number of new collaborators.

- | Finally -- you might laugh after reading all of the above -- we're working hard on a new project: Doing Nothing. In view of the malaise fuelled by stress, overwork, financial and social uncertainty and other well-known pain points pervading the cultural sector but also the wider society of Europe and beyond, FoAM has initiated a practice-based research programme on how to do nothing: creating space and time to decompress amidst our hectic lives. So far the research has looked at how how to do this on a daily basis at a microcosmic scale, in FoAM and our networks, but in 2014--2015 the programme will be extended. In the spirit of Doing Nothing, we may not document it explicitly or extensively, | + | Finally -- you might laugh after reading all of the above -- we're working hard on a new project: |
